​​Phoenix-native Skyler Doucet’s plans with her​BFF are ruined when her mom and Japanesestepfather move the entire family to Nagoya,Japan for the summer before her senior year.But when David Takamatsu, a biracial Japanese-American boy, invades Skyler’s space (and her heart), this fish out of water in Japan starts to wonder if it’s the pond back home that might be too small.

About Sara: ​She began her writing career as a journalist, so it’s no surprise that even her fiction has a lot of fact woven into it. Whether you are a Japanophile, a foodie, or just like to go behind-the-scenes of your books, here are three things to help bring TANABATA WISH to life. First up, Sara is one of those authors who creates a playlist to go with each of her projects. It helps her reconnect to her story quickly every time her butt hits the chair. Here are the Top 5 songs that Sara listened to a bazillion times while creating TANABATA WISH. Did you know that Sam Tsui is biracial like David Takamatsu? Kina Grannis is even half-Japanese, like David, too.
